Description

This certificate entitles the Bearer to enjoy a New York Harbor Sail for Four Aboard the beautiful Tall Ship Clipper City.  The winning bidder will join one of our public sails.

The Clipper City is the largest United States Coast Guard certified sailing vessel in the United States. The barquentine-rigged CLIPPER CITY is an exact reconstruction of the historic ship built in 1854 using original plans loaned from the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.

Nothing will prepare you for the amazing sensation of being on one of the largest sailing boats still in commercial operation today...160' feet long, with masts rising 120` off the deck. Flying over 8,000 square feet of sail and weighing in at over 200 tons, the Clipper City is both the iconic newest addition to the NYC skyline and a stunning reminder of New York’s role in America’s 19th Century rise to prominence in global commerce.
